You could spend a week looking at Exmoor and only scratch the surface.
We are only a ten minute walk from Stogumber station on the West Somerset Steam railway.

We had a very warm welcome from Chris & Marilyn. We found the place delightful & enjoyed the welcome basket with home made goodies, & especially the bottle of wine - perfect to sip on the patio after a long day on the road! We wished we could stay longer as the Old Barn was very spacious & beautifully furnished. Everything you could possibly need was there & some.. Stogumber is a very pretty village & we were fortunate to be there while their annual music festival was on! It's also a short drive to the north coast & Dunster village & Castle which we particularly enjoyed. Chris & Marilyn were great hosts. We would love to go back sometime.

We had a wonderful stay at the Old Wagon Barn. This Barn is amazing and it was exactly what we where looking for. The Barn had everyhting you needed, especially the kitchen was supplied with everyhting I could think of and the bed was so comfortable. Everything was clean and tidy. There was a welcome basket which made us feel very welcome. Chris and Marilyn weren't there when we stayed but Chris sister took good care of us. I would definatly stay there again. Stogcumber is a nice little town and Sommerset and Devon are just beautiful.

Lena2015-06-22T00:00:00Z

We had a wonderful stay. The hosts we're very welcoming and the homemade goodies were a welcomed treat after a long journey. The barn was lovely & cosy in the miserable weather we had. There was just the right balance of secluded countryside and things to do to occupy us.

amanda2015-11-16T00:00:00Z

This cottage is certainly deserving of its 5* rating. Everything you could possibly need has been thought of. The property is tastefully furnished throughout and located in a beautiful village with easy access to the coast and hills. We would have no hesitation in recommending this listing and will definitely return in the future.

Lindy2016-02-16T00:00:00Z

The Old Wagon Barn had everything we wanted...a fully equipped kitchen, great shower and was furnished well. Stogumber is a lovely, very peaceful village to relax in. The homemade sour dough, marmalade and the rest of the welcome pack was a really nice touch. Chris and Marilyn were very friendly and helpful.

Mark2016-10-23T00:00:00Z

We had a great couple of days. The situation of the barn was great in the middle of some very beautiful countryside. The barn itself was fantastic , very private and very well equipped. It was great to meet Chris, he was most hospitable. We hope to stay there again next time we want to catch up with our friends.

sandra2016-09-23T00:00:00Z

I booked the Old Wagon Barn on behalf of my parents, who were very effusive in their comments about it! They said that it's the nicest place they have ever stayed at in the area (which is quite something given the number of holidays they have had in the area over the last 20 years or so). They were impressed with how clean, cosy and well equipped the Old Barn was, with lots of really nice little touches including the welcome pack of food and some complimentary chocolates. They also said that Chris and Marilyn were extremely friendly and helpful hosts (and that they enjoyed meeting Chris and Marilyn's two dogs, too). I suspect it won't be too long before my parents are asking me to book the Old Wagon Barn for them again!

Jeff2016-10-12T00:00:00Z

We had a wonderful stay at the Wagon Barn! Check in was very easy and Marilyn and Chris gave us a very friendly welcome. We loved all the little touches such as the breakfast hamper (the sourdough bread is delicious!) and chocolates on the bed. The place was very clean and we instantly felt at home. The bed was very comfortable meaning a good nights sleep. The village is beautiful and only a 10 minute walk to the station for the Somerset railway. We had a tasty dinner at the local pub and ate at other places on the doorstep. We recommend the blue ball at Triscombe. Overall, a very relaxing time and we would definitely come back!

Gorgeous detached period stone cottage, set amongst beautiful countryside on the edge of the Quantock Hills AONB and Exmoor, with private cobbled terrace garden, just 10 mins to the coast and all within walking distance to a great pub!

The cottage front door leads into a small hallway ideal for coats and boots. The hallways leads into a large living and dining area with farmhouse table and chairs, sofa and digital television with Freeview and DVD player. Free WiFi is also provided.
The dining area includes a fully equiped kitchenette with farmhouse sink, cooker, refridgerator, toaster, kettle, microwave and all necessary utensils.
At the far end of the living area is a very comfortable king-size brass bed, a large wardrobe and 2 chests of draws. The room is beautifully furnished, with large windows allowing the evening sun to stream in.

Little Orchard Cottage has full central heating.

Little Orchard Cottage is on the edge of a charming, peaceful hamlet of period stone and thatched cottages, set amongst the beautiful, rolling West Somerset countryside. The picturesque villages of Stogumber and Bicknoller are just 1 mile away with their thatched and colourwashed cottages - some of the prettiest in the country, and both have great pubs! All around is the outstanding natural beauty of the Quantock Hills and Exmoor with wonderful walks, superb cycling and fantastic horse riding trails right on the doorstep. The wild Somerset coast with its great fossil hunting is just a 10 min drive away and the world-class sandy surfing beaches in North Devon, less than an hour's drive. There are many historic villages to explore where you'll find some excellent local pubs for eating out and enjoying the local cider!

This cottage is heaven itself! We travelled to the little cottage for a New Years away, and had an absolutely beautiful few days in it. From the homemade scones on arrival, through to the beautiful little garden and amazingly comfortable bed. Overall our stay was as cosy and relaxing as we had hoped! Lived up to all expectations, and above!

Louis2017-01-02T00:00:00Z

The hosts were both perfect! Welcoming and informative, and made us feel at home. They were full of suggestions on where to visit in the surrounding area. The area itself was incredibly beautiful and peaceful, the perfect getaway.

Nathan2015-03-02T00:00:00Z

We had such a lovely time at the cottage! My new husband and I spent two nights here after we got married and couldn't have been happier with the place. The accommodation was so cosy and the bed was literally the comfiest thing I've ever slept on! When we arrived, there were delicious home made scones, jam and cream and a bottle of bubbly to celebrate the fact we'd just got married. The information in the cottage was really helpful and the recomendations for places to eat lead us to a fantastic pub for dinner. What we loved about this place was that it was super sweet and cosy. The hosts were helpful and on hand if we needed them, but we were left to our own devices which was exactly what we wanted. Wonderful time, thank you!

Bethan2015-08-15T00:00:00Z

Had a lovely weekend at the Little Orchard Cottage. Fiona and Mark made us feel very welcome and everything was wonderful both in and around the cottage. The cottage is very cosy and everything is to highest standards, including a very comfortable bed. Fiona and Mark are very knowledgeable about the surrounding area and went to great lengths to help us find wonderful walks. Tom felt happy to make photocopies of the surrounding areas for walks and drives and recommended great pubs etc. They are wonderful hosts with matching personalities and made us feel at ease throughout our stay. They made the experience very special. We can only recommend them to future visitors and are looking forward to going back soon.

Steven2014-10-13T00:00:00Z

Little Orchard Cottage was all we wanted it to be and more. Tom and Fiona made us feel welcome from the start right until the time we had to unfortunately leave. The cottage was beautiful, inside and and out. Tom and Fiona's artwork brightening up every wall and the cozy feel and comfy bed making this a weekend of optimum relaxation. Exactly what we needed. We were lucky enough to experience the friendly family of Robins in their garden. One even eating out of our hands thanks to Tom. It was a wonderful experience. And his knowledge of the area was fantastic in giving us advice of places to eat and locations to experience. This was on top of the wonderful welcome pack left for us in the cottage. All in all, it was an amazing weekend made better by the hosts and the Little Orchard Cottage. We can't thank them enough. We will certainly be recommending this little gem to our friends and hopefully we will be lucky enough to visit again. Many thanks to Fiona and Tom. x

Samantha2015-02-09T00:00:00Z

A wonderful escape to an idylic place! We were made very welcome by Tom and Fi - lovely, genuine people, very relaxed, very helpful but totally unobtrusive. The cream tea (now stuff of legends!) was fab and we had everything we needed in this romantic little cottage. Lovely walks right from the door too with torches for a moonlit walk to the pub! Highly recommended.

Anna2015-11-01T00:00:00Z

I booked Little Orchard as a suprise weekend for my wife's birthday. After the lovely welcome with a superb cream tea the weekend was fantastic. The cottage is warm, comfortable and immaculate with everything you need to hand. There are good local pubs to go to and we got in one of the walks that was described in the info pack at the cottage. The Quantocks are beautiful and we were lucky enough to see at least 40 red deer. Fiona and Tom are lovely and ensured we had a great time. Even leaving a Card and a little something for my wife for her birthday...very thoughtful. We highly recommend this cottage for an excellent escape from the rat race.. Thank you guys.

Enjoy a relaxing break in our lovely stone built Victorian cottage, set in the pretty hamlet of Lower Vellow. Beautiful countryside surrounds the property with the coast a very short drive away.

Our semi-detached house is built on the site of a historic quarry, creating a charming garden of many levels. There is ample off-road parking for 3 cars on the gated drive in front of the house. A large well equipped kitchen/diner with a farmhouse table to seat 8, is perfect for enjoying mealtimes together. Leading off from the kitchen, is a practical utility room where there is a washing machine and tumble dryer and plenty of room for shoes and coats. Beyond this is a toilet room. Downstairs there is a comfortable living room with a wood burner to keep cosy on colder evenings, a digital television with Freeview and DVD player and a piano. Free WiFi is also provided.
The highlight of upstairs is the spacious master bedroom with a super king sized bed, tv, ensuite shower and full length windows overlooking the glorious countryside. The other 3 bedrooms, which our children normally sleep in, share a family bathroom with a bath. The single bedroom has a mid sleeper in it. The double children's room has lovely views over the fields and is a very comfortable room for adults. Our son rarely uses it as he prefers the top bunk!
As it is our family house there are photos on the walls however we will move as many of our personal possessions as possible, leave all the bedrooms with fresh bedding and empty the wardrobe in each room so you can really feel at home.
If you have very young children, you will need to take care upstairs as there is no stair gate. There is however a door between the living room and the bottom of the stairs. There are some steep banks in the garden and some short flights of steps but we have never worried about these with our children. To us they add character and make the garden more fun.
Steps from the kitchen door lead up to a unique garden with an interesting mix of natural features and those created by the original quarry. Butterflies, wild bees, owls and buzzards are regular visitors to Vellow. The garden boasts views over the surrounding countryside, a decking area with table and chairs, a gas bbq and chickens so you will be able to help yourself to their eggs.
We have 3 young boys so have plenty to keep children entertained, including an 8ft trampoline, play equipment, play house, toys and books, however the toys can be easily hidden away and our house is equally suitable if you’re after a relaxing child free holiday.

We are situated just a mile from the picturesque village of Stogumber with a country pub and village shop. The foot of the Quantock hills (an ANOB) is a mile away, with endless walks, great mountain biking and more lovely country pubs. The West Somerset Steam Railway passes within ear shot of us with the nearest station being at Stogumber. From the house there are various pleasant walks from which you can see the glorious steam trains as they make their way through the valley with the Quantock Hills in the backdrop. Exmoor National Park, the harbour town of Watchet, the fossil beach at Kilve, Dunster Castle (National Trust) and the seaside town of Minehead are all a very short drive away. These are just a few examples; there are endless possibilities for days out to suit everyone.

With Exmoor to the west, the Quantocks to the east, the sea to the north and Taunton Vale and the Blackdown Hills to the south, Lawford can feel like paradise on earth. The house is modern, light and warm, the perfect place in which to recharge and from which to set out to explore west Somerset by car, on foot, by (steam) train or on one of the many off- and on-road cycle routes. We love this house and hope you do too.

Lonnin House is a family home, with plenty of space inside and out. We work away for much of the year and this house always feels like home, a feeling we want you to have as well. With four bedrooms (one en-suite), a conservatory, a double-sofa sitting room and a large dining room that opens on to the kitchen, there is plenty of room for a family or a group of friends.

Lawford is a 10-minute walk over the field from the village of Crowcombe, which has a village shop and post office, and the rather splendid Carew Arms (URL HIDDEN)

Very nice, clean, nicely located house. If you'd like a comfy weekend or week it's a place to book, quiet, beautifully surrounded neighbourhood with good access to shops. Very nice place indeed.

Mariusz2017-05-01T00:00:00Z

Great country home for a countryside break. My group of girlfriends and I had a wonderful time relaxing and soaking up the fresh country air. Loads of space for us all to spread out and relax. Very comfy beds. Friendly neighbors.

Saney2017-04-17T00:00:00Z

This is the perfect property for a family (or even 2 families) using it as a base to explore the Quantocks/Exmoor and north or south Devon coasts. It is well equipped with four large bedrooms and two bathrooms with downstairs toilet and everything else families need.

John2017-03-29T00:00:00Z

Great little cottage in a beautifully situated location, perfect for a family holiday with fantastic views of the Quantocks.

Simon2017-04-14T00:00:00Z

I stayed here with a group of friends to attend a wedding at St Audries Park - an ideal location for this venue. The house is lovely - the photos don't do it justice. Homely with sizeable kitchen/diner and cozy sitting room. Huge garden with beautiful views. Beds very comfy. The owner recommended a nearby pub (Carew Arms) which did great pub food, lovely atmosphere, we spent all evening there. Highly recommend this lovely house.

Claire2017-05-15T00:00:00Z

We had a wonderful time staying here. We were 2 families with 6 children between us - the house is perfect for families as has lots of toys/games and a large garden to play in. Beautiful surrounding countryside which we enjoyed walking in, and close to lots of family friendly attractions. Alastair was a great host, with friendly and quick communication.

Lovely twin room near Taunton in property with wonderful views of the Quantocks. Plasma with Sky. Private library. WiFi. Breakfast included.
Please be aware that the room is open to the private back stairs so in effect is missing a wall and is therefore very open and light.
If you would like to know more about us, this link will take you to an article in the UK magazine "Beautiful Kitchens" (URL HIDDEN) Although written in 2009, nothing has changed except me - older and greyer!
We have three over friendly Labradors, Otis, Marley and Bingo, so if you are frightened of, or allergic to, dogs then this is probably not the place for you! I am happy to accept dogs overnight but they will have to sleep downstairs in the kitchen or back hall as no dogs, not even ours, are allowed into the bedrooms.
This room is £70 for double occupancy and £55 for single. It is big enough to accommodate an adult camp bed so if you wish three of you in there I charge an extra £40 on top of double occupancy for the camp bed. It is also the best room for babies as room for travel cot - I make no extra charge for very small children in travel cots.

Crowcombe is right on the A358 with good transport links into Taunton or Minehead every half hour. Also has West Somerset Railway station two minutes away so you can catch steam train to Bishops Lydeard one way or Minehead the other. From Taunton, main line station with fast trains to Bristol, Exeter or London. Crowcombe has pub, local shop and Post Office and thriving cricket team! Highly sought after location at foot of the Quantock Hills, Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. We also have the excellent Quantock School of Riding two minutes away - (URL HIDDEN) for those keen riders.

Very friendly hosts. Very accommodating. Will stay again next time we're in the area.

Stephen2017-02-12T00:00:00Z

We had a great time at Anna's place the room was comfortable, and even when we had lots if privacy there was a nice been at home feeling... The place was so convenient for us as we just had to walk few blocks to the wedding we attended so that made things very easy. Anna was always giving us advice about what to do and see around the area so we made the most of our break. The gardens around the house were a plus and my son was so please there were two lovely dogs happy to get all the love that you could give them

Zulma2015-05-26T00:00:00Z

We stayed in Anna's lovely cottage for three nights. Anna is such a warm-hearted, friendly and open person who is making the best breakfast ever seen in England! We enjoyed our stay very much and could ask for anything we needed (e.g. board games, cup of tea, a place to lock our bikes). The room was in a wonderful style and very nicely furnished. Everything was very clean. The garden and her dogs made the stay extra special. I can highly recommend Anna's place for anyone who plans to stay in the Taunton/Minehead area. You will never regret it. Anna gets more than five stars from us. :-)

Heike2013-05-26T00:00:00Z

This was a brilliant place to stay! Anna was the perfect hostess and could not have done any more to make us feel welcome. If you are looking for a friendly family stay in a quintessentially English village then look no further. Breakfast was delicious too! Truly excellent value for money and we hope to go back again in the future.

Isobel2015-07-27T00:00:00Z

Anna will welcome you into her home, and your will be greeted by her faithful dogs. We stayed one night in the twin room, with adjoining bathroom. Both are a good size and well equipped for a comfortable stay. The open stairs lead down to a side lobby and entrance door, so you can come and go without entering their home. Anna will ensure you have a substantial breakfast, which is included in the deal. Crowcombe is an excellent base to explore the Quantock Hills and this area of Somerset and Exmoor - the first area to be designated an ANOB (Area of Natural Outstanding Beauty) in the UK.

A historic, rustic, one-bedroom, self-catering 'cottage' just inside Exmoor National Park with its own garden and streamside location. A bucolic, countryside setting ideal for walking, reading and relaxing by the fire...
We are happy to provide the usual comfy towels and linens. There is one long, claw foot bathtub (sorry no shower) ideal for soaking. Food such as cereals, fresh eggs, cheeses, chutneys and hampers/picnics can be arranged. As can suppers.
Please bear in mind the property is hundreds of years old. There is no central heating but radiators are throughout and the wood burner in the living room makes the place very cosy. There is an out of tune piano, library of books, maps and local information at your disposal along with a yoga deck, cottage garden (weeders welcome), picnic table.
There is also an artist's studio available upon request/arrangement.
The Hare & Hounds is
Approximately 2 miles from Williton where the closest shops are.
Closest train station: Taunton (taxis readily available).
The 28 bus runs regularly between Taunton and Williton.
We are situated on the "Coleridge Way"
From Nether Stowey on the Quantock Hills, where Coleridge lived for three years, walk: the quiet and unspoilt northern fringes of the Quantock Hills through the villages of Holford, West Quantoxhead and Bicknoller. The little known Brendon Hills through the villages of Monksilver, Roadwater and Luxborough, across Lype Hill to Wheddon Cross
the remote Exmoor moorland fringes of Dunkery Hill to the woodland village of Horner to reach Porlock, the end of your route, on the spectacular South West Coast Path.
You will travel through a variety of landscapes: heathland, moorland, deciduous & coniferous woodland, farmland, deeply wooded valleys and historic villages with expansive views over to the North Somerset Coast and Wales. Every village has at least one pub to provide you with welcome refreshment. There are also a number of delightful tea rooms and village shops to visit.
The Coleridge Way can be completed over three or four consecutive days, making it ideal for a short break. Stay for a few days and enjoy the high quality bed and breakfast accommodation along the way, all offering a friendly welcome and some providing a baggage transfer service to make your break even more relaxing.
For a longer walking holiday the Coleridge Way links up with the South West Coast Path and the West Somerset Coast Path, enabling you to walk to Lynton or Watchet, both of which have strong links with the Romantic Poets.

We had a lovely weekend at the Hare & Hounds. The kitchen had everything we needed to make a lovely supper before relaxing in front of the fire. We took the scenic but not too long walk by the stream to the local pub and had a great lunch. This was our second weekend here, it's so pretty and really relaxing.

Louise2016-02-15T00:00:00Z

I simply could not recommend the Hare & Hounds, and Lee & Tim, highly enough! An absolutely perfect retreat set amid the most beautiful countryside. The cottage was exactly what we had hoped for and combined a traditional, rustic feel with the most tasteful interior design. If you are looking for a true getaway without the distractions of television on computers, this is the perfect break for you. Lee & Tim were incredibly welcoming and laid back, even providing us with fresh eggs from the hens in the garden. So much to see and do, we're already thinking about the next excuse for a break. The location is simply idyllic and the hints and tips which Lee gave us in the guidebook, could not have been more helpful. Particular highlights include the West Somerset Steam Railway, Watchet harbour and the lovely walks around Monksilver and Yarde. Thanks again Lee & Tim, we hope to see you, and your fantastic little cottage, again sometime soon! x

Robyn2014-05-06T00:00:00Z

We had a lovely long weekend at your fantastic cottage, I absolutely loved the decor and rustic feel. My partner and I will defiantly be visiting again and recommending it to our friends :) it was made even better by the bird that we think was a thrush making a nest in the back porch and her babies hatching whilst we were staying. We look forward to seeing you again soon, maybe Christmas time as I'd love to see the garden and surroundings again at that time of year xx

Laura2014-06-24T00:00:00Z

We had a lovely stay at Hare & Hounds, it is better than the pictures! The location is perfect & very relaxing. We would definitely recommend it to friends.

Hayley2013-09-14T00:00:00Z

Although Tim and Lee were away the welcome was left in the very capable hands of Kalina and Dot who both went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. They knew the area really well and gave us some good recommendations about good local walks, places to visit and where to get good food. The cottage is in a great location and has everything needed for a very comfortable stay. Its an ideal place to relax with lots of books to read and music to listen to - it's got an IPod docking station so you can take your own music as well). Plenty of good walking close by and no shortage of places to visit. There is a beautiful garden with deckchairs to help with the relaxing. This cottage is highly recommended. Thank you. Nigel and Maureen

Nigel2014-07-14T00:00:00Z

A lovely bolt hole on the edge of Exmoor. We had a great few days. Thank you!

Lucy2014-09-29T00:00:00Z

The perfect place to get away from it all - no TV, eclectic decor, wood burning stove, roll top bath, the comfiest bed in the world and stunning surroundings. Tim and Lee were so kind, giving us tips about the area, checking that we were comfortable and helping us get back into the cottage when we stupidly left the key in our car at the pub! This was all despite just getting back from a five week trip away and suffering jet lag. The cottage was a little cold but looking at the other reviews I think this was probably more to do with Lee and Tim being away prior to our arrival. I'd recommend the Hare & Hounds to anyone looking for a proper break, a slower pace and a reminder of the simple pleasures of life.

Deborah2014-03-11T00:00:00Z

Beautiful home, quirky and with so much attention to detail! Fresh flowers awaited us in the living room. Such lovely hosts! It's even bigger than it appears in the photos! Would definitely recommend this if you're looking for somewhere quiet and relaxing - beautiful walks in all around!

Our Somerset cottage and private garden provides the conveniences of modern day living (including wifi) whilst retaining the charm of period features. It is a short stroll away from shops, dog friendly pubs and restaurants. Year round dog friendly beaches are just 2 miles away. This is a superb base from which to explore. We have wonderful countryside on our doorstep, a beautiful coastline nearby and numerous tourist attractions in the area. St Audries Park is 2 miles away.

Character cottage with log burner perfect for winter breaks and sunny garden for summer breaks.

The bustling village of Williton nestles between the Quantocks, Exmoor and the stunning West Somerset coast. It is home to one of the ten stations of the West Somerset Railway which is the longest private railway in the country. Other places of interest are the Tropiquaria animal farm at the old radio station and the Bakelite Museum.
Williton is well served with pubs and restaurants all within walking distance.
Williton is an excellent centre for walking holidays, with easy access for visiting the Quantocks, the Brendons and Exmoor as well as the coast at Minehead, Dunster, Blue Anchor and Watchet.

Lovely cottage, very conveniently located for local shops and pubs. Very nice garden at the cottage as well. Daniel (the host) was very helpful and even left us a couple of bottles of cider!

Nick2017-04-21T00:00:00Z

We have just finished our stay at this lovely cottage over the Easter bank holiday. We were attending a wedding at St Audries so it was perfect. The cottage is bigger than it looks and great in lots of ways. The location is excellent- very close to a great pub, shops etc but also close to the steal railway and various local attractions and great walks. The cottage itself is very comfortable and nicely fitted out. It was also spotlessly clean. Parking is only for 30 mins out the front which gave us plenty of time to unload and then parking was always available on the road around the corner, so really not an issue. Daniel was a great host and gave me a great selection of restaurants to book for our anniversary. We would definitely stay at this lovely cottage again.

Charlotte2017-04-17T00:00:00Z

You can trust Daniel. His recommended dog walks and pub suggestions are ace. Blanketts gave us access to countryside as well as the convenience of village living (we have come home laden with goods from the Farmhouse shop (butcher & deli)!). The cottage was just perfect and having a spaniel-proof garden was so reassuring. I can thoroughly recommend Blanketts and host Daniel.

On the first floor there is a very large double bedroom with a king-size bed and an en-suite bathroom with an iron roll-top bath with a shower attachment, a basin and loo. The property has full CH and a log burner – we supply a basket of logs for the start of your holiday.
We also supply fresh linen and lovely fluffy towels.

The Quantocks are an area of outstanding natural beauty and there are some stunning walks on our doorstep - both by the coast and up in the hills.
This is also a very popular area for mountain biking and horse-riding and there are some excellent local pubs for enjoying a local cider!

The charm of The Old Bakery cannot easily be fully described in words. The peaceful and restorative qualities are magic. The Old Bakery is beautifully furnished, invitingly warm, spacious and comfortable. Bruce and Jacqui are delightfully welcoming and gracious hosts. The Quantock area has a variety of activities and attractions on offer plus you also have the option of fun in the games room.

We spent a wonderful week at Bruce. The kids loved being around animals and we took full advantage of the game room. The setting is beautiful and the house furnished with taste. Thank you to Bruce for his time and kindness

We had a wonderful time in Crowcombe at the Old Bakery. The cottage was an incredibly relaxing space, with a cosy wood burner and great family kitchen. The main bedroom was beautiful and bright and the roll top bath was well used! Bruce and Jacqui were perfect hosts; we were welcomed with scones, jam and clotted cream and told to knock if we needed anything at all. As it was, the cottage was so well equipped, we had everything we could possibly need. The fire was even laid out for us and a pint of milk was provided in the fridge. We would love to stay again; thanks for making our week just what we were hoping for.

Kate2014-11-02T00:00:00Z

The Old Bakery was everything it promised to be and more. Charming and helpful hosts, a beautiful and friendly village (with a good pub) and close to the sea and some stunning scenery/walks. We had two 15 year old girls and our puppy, Dexter and were made to feel very welcome. I highly recommend this as a great place to stay if you need to recharge your batteries and enjoy Somerset.

James 2017-04-15T00:00:00Z

We had a wonderful time at The Old Bakery. Bruce was a very friendly and attentive host. The apartment is spacious and very comfortable. I particularly liked the kitchen which had everything I needed to self cater (not always the case with holiday rentals). The garden is a delight and we really enjoyed having an early evening drink in the sunshine. There is a field opposite where we could exercise our dogs. Crowcombe is a very pretty little village and well located for trips to Exmoor and the Quantocks. There are some really great pubs and other eating places close by. We heartily recommend The Old Bakery.

Well established accommodation located in an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty near the Quantock Hills with panoramic views towards Exmoor National Park and Somerset coast. There is off road parking, ideal location for hiking, mountain biking & exploring the Coleridge Way, Dunster, Watchet, West Somerset Steam Railway & Minehead. Walk from the front door onto open QUANTOCK HILLS (AONB) moorland to see wild Exmoor Ponies, deer, wonderful bird life and more. This is a photographer's dream location and the perfect place to relax. Minutes from St Audries Bay, a secluded private beach where fossils may be seen.
The local area also has many great pubs and restaurants where you can have a delicious evening meal. Price is from per person per night.
Electric vehicle charging point on site.
Each room has its own key/lock, large flat screen HD ready TV with built in Freeview, tea/coffee making facilities, towels, central heating/fans, shower or bath en-suite, hairdryer & fridge. Maximum 2 persons per room.

Rural area situated in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and close to Somerset Jurassic coast. Fossils can be discovered at Kilve Beach nearby. Great to explore the Coleridge Way, 51 mile walking route to Devon from Quantock Hills, or Somerset coastal path. Favourite local pub Bicknoller Inn, about 2 miles away.

Heidi is the ideal Bed and Breakfast host! She made me feel at home right from the start. The room I was staying in, spotless and cleaned every day, has a wonderful view which I enjoyed very much. I also thoroughly enjoyed breakfast which is superb, very lovingly prepared. There were maps I could borrow and Heidi gave me valuable tips. I could ask her just about anything. When I had problems with my car both Heidi and her husband helped me out - thank you! I can highly recommend staying with Heidi.

Kerstin2013-08-24T00:00:00Z

Heidi and Pete really offered me a warm stay. I could not stay long but the views on the top of their hill is amazing, the house is nice and comfortable and this breaky was awesome. Even delicious surprise pancakes to start the day :) They both know the area - almost the country to that distance ! - very well, and could give me a fed tips to choose the most beautiful road to my destination. There is a good pub nearby. I had a great time and would only suggest you try as well and come back again !

G2015-08-15T00:00:00Z

Had a fantastic time. Cream tea on arrival! Heidi was a fantastic font of knowledge for the local area, providing great recommendations for places to visit or eat. Great view from the double bedroom too. Couldn't recommend more.

A beautiful little house in a beautiful location with an very pleasant and relaxed host. Very quiet and good amenities. Good pub next door!

We had a lovely stay with Valerie. She gave us some delicious tea when we arrived and the most fantastic breakfast the following morning. Her home is beautifully decorated, very light and has a lovely garden which Valerie works on herself. Highly recommended! 5 Stars.

Paul2016-08-08T00:00:00Z

An excellent spot to relax. The house is situated in a quiet area, with lovely views of the coast and sea. The gardens have numerous fruit trees and are pretty. The room was extremely comfortable with a plush bathroom. Valerie was very hospitable and made us feel at home. Breakfast was very nutritious with fresh fruit and homemade bread. To be recommended.

A welcoming cup of tea and a chat when we arrived, a lovely breakfast with homemade bread and preserves and well presented bedroom and next door shower room contributed to a great stay in Watchet. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

It was a pleasure chatting over breakfast where she spoilt us with freshly homemade bread and jams. Would definitely highly recommend a stay here! Thank you Valerie!

Laura2016-09-23T00:00:00Z

Valerie was there to welcome us with a cup of tea and a chat. Her home is stylish and very comfortable with brand new amenities. Valerie secured a dinner reservation for us at a busy local pub and briefed us on local events and places to see. Valerie provided a great breakfast featuring home baking and produce, taking gluten free food issues in her stride. Valerie was a superb hostess making our stay most enjoyable. We would certainly stay there again if it proved possible

Margaret 2016-08-21T00:00:00Z

If you're looking for outdoor adventures in some of the UK's most stunning countryside this is the perfect base to explore the region. Our homely cottage in the coastal town of Watchet. It is close to Exmoor National Park. The South West Coast Path is on the door step. Devon's Surf beaches Croyde and Saunton are about 30 minutes away. The house is a short walk from the ancient harbour and the town's shops and great pubs. The cottage is ideal for couples, families, and groups. Dogs are welcome.

Most guests love the cosy cottage atmosphere. The log burner makes the comfy lounge snug and cosy in the winter. For warmer night there is a BBQ in the private court yard. The kitchen has everything you need... plus there are several take away's and pubs close by if you don't feel like cooking. We can be flexible with the layout of beds if needed. Towels etc are provided.

Peter posted a very accurate description of the property, including the main advantage of being within walking distance of all amenities locally. The property was well decorated and cared for and had all the fittings of your home away from home.

Robert2016-12-05T00:00:00Z

Wonderful, relaxing holiday in this cosy, comfortable cottage within a short walking distance of the harbour and train station at Watchet, but also close to all the main roads towards Minehead and Exmoor. Perfect for a family who want a chilled, relaxing holiday in Somerset. The beach littered with fossils, within walking distance, was an exciting surprise for our sons. There is even a telescope and binoculars in the attic bedroom which you can use to look out over the bay (if you are tall enough); we were surprised and excited to be able to see Cardiff Bay (our next destination).

Sarah2017-04-06T00:00:00Z

We all had a lovely stay, great little place perfect for us all to catch up! Beach was a really nice short walk away, the beds were comfy, electric shower meant there was enough water for all of us, liked having the telescope and also the outside area for eating and drinking! Thanks so much for the use of your lovely home !

Jemima2017-04-09T00:00:00Z

Really lovely cottage, very cosy and easily accessible, well placed to be able to see the sights of Somerset. We needed somewhere to rest and relax, this was perfect.

Stuart2016-08-13T00:00:00Z

Nice house, close to the town with everything we needed - thanks for having us!

Josh2017-04-17T00:00:00Z

Peters house was easy to find on a quiet lane, felt very traquil and safe with the gentle puffing of the steam engine in the background. Rooms were spacious and everything was well prepared and comfortable and a table outside for dinner in the evening was good. all in all pretty good and comfortable.

manda2016-08-20T00:00:00Z

Lovely peaceful cottage just a short stroll away from the local amenities, the cottage was more than adequate for our needs and we would syltay here again.

Lucy2017-05-08T00:00:00Z

We had clear and extra instructions on how to find the cottage. It was in a great position and easy to get to the small town and harbour. My children loved the steam railway and hearing the whistle in the day. Lots to go nearby Minehead, Dunster castle and porlock harbour

Triscombe is a small hamlet nestled on the foot of the Quantock Hills. There are a few cottages, a tearoom, plant nursery and a pub right opposite our house, Triscombe Farm. Our Victorian barns were built in the late 1800s. Cattle used to roam in what is now the Cows Barn and you can guess what the Hay Barn was used for. Above the tackroom, the stable groom kept himself warm by the fireplace which you can still find in the Grooms Studio. Brick detailing around windows and doors show the age of the stable block. The tack room has its original saddle mounts and oak stables are keeping the original style. Hay is now stored in the coach house.

The Quantock Hills with deep wooded valleys, open heath land and rich flora and fauna are ideal for walking, cycling and horseriding. From the barns and the top of the hills you can enjoy amazing views of the Bristol Channel, Wales, the Mendip Hills and Exmoor. Your welcome pack will include a long list of things to do: steam train, beach, fossil hunt, tea room, kids farm, castle visit, pubs, brewery, gardens....

Malcolm and Shanti were marvelous hosts. Very welcoming and always happy to chat and provide suggestions. Hay Barn is a superb brand new barn conversion with everything we needed for a relaxing weekend away. The views are incredible and the location ideal. Waking each morning to see horses , sheep and pheasants in the fields around. Taking an evening meal in the Blue Ball Inn - 2 minute walk, numerous different walks up onto the Quantocks including a lovely circular walk stopping at the Rising Sun for lunch. We are very familiar with the area having had relatives living near by for many years so would highly recommend this for anyone wanting to explore a lovely not particularly well known part of Somerset. I'm sure we will be returning. Many thanks.

Annabel2016-10-17T00:00:00Z

This is a wonderfully place to stay! We will definitely be come here again and hopefully bring our house to. The walking and views are fabulous 5*

Jessica2017-02-05T00:00:00Z

Great location with fantastic views. Lovely accommodation. We enjoyed the great mountain biking on the Quantocks and Exmoor.

Ben2016-12-04T00:00:00Z

We were made to feel very welcome. The accommodation was extremely clean and beautifully finished. It was so wonderful to sit in the peace and quiet and enjoy breakfast on the patio. We would definitely visit again and it would be fantastic for a big family get together.

Rebecca2016-09-19T00:00:00Z

The barn conversion was lovely- very spacious, bright and comfortable. The bedroom was very nice and I slept like a log. The view from our room was spectacular as well, looking out over the horses and the hills (we had the bedroom above the kitchen). I also really liked the communal areas, particularly sitting outside the kitchen in the sunshine which was extremely pleasant. The kitchen was well equipped and a nice place to cook. The setting was absolutely beautiful and it was perfect for a relaxing weekend away from London. We had a very pleasant walk to the rising sun inn for an excellent roast. Also we popped into the blue ball inn next door which was very friendly

Our lovely cottage is available to rent for a week at a time, Saturday to Saturday. We have great views over the Quantock hills and the West Somerset Steam Railway.
There is also a beautiful 2 mile walk along the Mineral Line to the harbour of Watchet where there are plenty of pubs, restaurants and cafes where you can sample Somerset cider, ice cream or just to view boats on the marina.

The cottage has an open plan kitchen and living area. With a large double bedroom with ensuite and a single bedroom and family bathroom with a bath. It also has a balcony to enjoy breakfast on and admire the views. The property is set within 2 acres of gardens.

Washford is a village with a small first school, church, post office and 2 pubs with in walking distance.
The ruins of Cleeve Abbey and the old 'Mineral Line' are all within a 5 minute walk in addition to Tropiquaria Theme park only half a miles away.

Lovely place and lovely people! Perfect location would definitely recommend!

Roy2016-08-23T00:00:00Z

Dan and Judith made us welcome, providing a welcome pack of essentials and providing us with a tour of the property. They were very friendly with all communications we had. The property was good value for money and is presented well and worked well for our small family.

Jon 2015-10-29T00:00:00Z

We were warmly welcomed and guided through the apartment. There were fresh flowers prepared a bottle of wine and milk were also provided.

Gerhard2016-07-18T00:00:00Z

Arrived at the cottage with a warm welcome from Dan who had kindly supplied some basics (i.e milk, tea, coffee) as well as surprise Christmas gifts for us which was kind. Cottage was lovely and clean and very well equipped. Location was great with lots of lovely walks and bike rides, Dan was more than happy to give advice on the best places to go. Dan and Judith are around as much as you want them to be. Would recommend the jeep safari rides, although a bit pricey (£106 for the three of us) the tour was four hours long and we felt you really got to see the real Exmoor with a bit of off roading thrown in! We used Red Stag tours. Views around the area were amazing.

We immediately felt at home and were made to feel very welcome by Judith and Dan. Lots to do in the local area without having to go far and incredibly friendly people everywhere we went. Thank you!

Elisabeth2016-08-14T00:00:00Z

We stayed at Judith & Daniel's cottage over New Years Eve as we were looking for a place to escape London during the celebrations. The cottage is a countryside gem and if you are lucky you might catch a glimpse of a steam train that runs past the house on the West Somerset Railway. The cottage is well equipped and was made very cosy for our stay. Judith & Daniel provided lots of helpful information about where to eat and what to do in the area. We were only there for a short time however it felt we had been much longer. We were able to use the cottage as a base to explore the nearby sights; Blue Anchor, Watchet, Dunster & Minehead are all close by. I would recommend visiting the White Horse pub & Spice Merchant restaurant (Watchet) we had a great meal in both restaurants! Thank you for making us feel welcome - we hope to return later in the year!

Dan2016-01-03T00:00:00Z

Very comfortable and spacious accommodation. Well appointed with modern fittings. Only a short drive to Minehead and other beaches. Our trip coincided with a steam railway weekend which was an added bonus. Watchet station very nearby.
